So what can you say about The Crowded Room?
I can say that The Crowded Room,
you know, an incredibly unique e
of work that I think is going to
really take audiences by surpri.
It is a mystery at heart.
It's a psychological thriller, which.
Navigates this incredibly
complicated criminal case.
You know where my character Dany
Sullivan is at the center of it.
I'm super excited about it.
I'm incredibly proud of it.
I can't wait for people to see .
And and tonight's the night,
you know, we're premiere tonigh.
So I'm very excited and happy to be here.
It's so exciting.
I can't wait for people to see .
Every episode gets better
and it's more thrilling.
I feel bad that people are going
to have to watch episode by
episode cuz I binged it so fast.
You share your a lot of your
scenes with Amanda Seyfried.
What was it like working with h?
Amazing. I loved working with Amanda.
She was such a pleasure.
She's a great actress
and she's a good friend.
You know, it's pretty daunting staring
down the barrel of well over 100 pages
of dialogue in one room with one actress.
And I'm so glad that we had Amaa
because she did such a great jo.
She was a pleasure to work withd
she made those scenes really fun when
they could have been really tou.
And the show creator and writer
Akiva Goldsman said you were
the one and only Danny Sullivan.
What's it like to hear that? Al,
being an executive producer on the show,
that really makes me happy.
I really appreciate Akiva saying that.
I I love the man.
He's a great guy,
he's a fantastic talent.
He writes* he writes a good script
and I just really loved working with him.
We had a lot of fun.

great together and I'm delighted
that he gave me the opportunity.

Girls came out and Amanda safe.
Cypher had made her debut film ,
and now she's in Apple
TV's pluses limited series,
The Crowded Room.
Thanks for chatting with me.
Thanks for having me.
So I know I can't believe it.
It's one of my favorite reminde.
Yes, not a problem.
So we we can't give away too may
spoilers because there's so many
different things that happen throughout
the series in almost every epis.
But what can you say about The Crowded Room?
Crowded Room is
a thriller based around a crime that happens.
We and we don't know much aboutt
and we don't know who was invol,
but we know that there's this,
there's Danny Sullivan,
who's played by Tom Holland,
and he's in trouble.
And I play this this woman who's who's
investigating and trying to helm
and and help law enforcement co,
you know come to the truth of of
what what's actually going on.
And it it's and it's a lot more
complicated than anyone had signed up for.
And luckily my character is incredibly
compassionate and incredibly patient and
is is is basically the entry point for
the audience to get to know this kid.
Who actually really does need h?
Whether or not we believe him episode
to episode, it doesn't really matter,
because at least she does.
At least she's in his corner no matter what.
And like everybody needs one of those.
But it's definitely it's twisty.
It's twisty and you got to pay attention.
Yes,
definitely pay attention each episode.
What was it like working with T?
It was good. We we had some ample rehearsal.
Space and he was really enthusic
the whole time about it like hes
really excited he was really excited to
play this role and that's infecs
and and I I really think that we
left everything out on the field
especially when when we're working so
closely together and developings
intense relationship that's that's warm
and and and and and loving at ts
and but also really fraught with with.
The, you know, the threat of trh
and what happens in that room unfolds
in a really unpredictable way.
And also, you know,
tests are our own feelings about ourselves
and how struggle has has impactd
us and and and where we fit in .
On the scale.
And it's a it's it's all very important.
Yeah,
it's it's so beautiful.
Your character does the best
job of just showing empathy,
making us see who people are ife
don't see them in the full ligh.
And we get deep down and undersd
that people are so thank you for that.
Sasha Lane burst onto the scene
in 2016 with American Honey.
She's been in low key
conversations with friends.
And now she's in Apple TV's limited series,
The Crowded Room.
Thanks for chatting with me.
Thank you. Thank you for having.
So there's so many things I want to say,
but we can't give away any of te
spoilers that are in this amazing show.
So what can you tell audiences
about The Crowded Room?
I think off the bat,
you can just say it's definitely
a psychological thriller.
There's definitely a lot of.
Twists and turns.
One big puzzle piece and
I think it's also just an
exciting piece of work and
I'm very happy for people to se.
And a lot of your scenes
are with Tom Holland.
What was it like working with h?
It was solid, I think to
have a partner that you feel
comfortable with in terms of.
How you both work and
that you can find a really
nice groove with, so
it doesn't even feel like
you have to put too much
effort on a daytoday basis
into your scenes and stuff.
It's really good. It's really,
it's a really refreshing thing.
So what's what's the basic preme
behind the show without all the
spoilers that everyone's going o
just love and just be so amazed?
I think they're going to love that they.
Are going to think they have ana
of what's happening and then find out
that they don't really have an a
of what's happening and then find out
of like wait where is this all going?
And yeah it's I think it's just all exciting.
So the second episode I've just got to
say your performance is so breathtaking.
How do you how do you take yourf
to go to those links as an actr?
I you just have to for me I think just like.
Tell like just ignore fear and
kind of break down my walls and
try to push past what everything
and me is screaming inside of.
Like, no, don't show that emoti.
But you know you,
you want to and you have to.
Especially when you feel so
passionate about something,
it feels really good to acknowle
that there is a purpose for it
and that you can maybe even
have your own sense of like
healing and like accomplishment
from that. And you explained jut
how passionate you are about th.
It's something that people are
going to feel so connected to ad
gather so much empathy for peope
that aren't like them or other
people that they may not unders.
Is that what you drew you to this project?
Definitely. And I think that
just the true sense of, like,
how much can you really think tt
you understand someone if you haven't
really been in their shoes even,
but also at the flip side.
Even if you've maybe experienced similar
things or gone through similar things,
or you're having a rough time tt
every person handles things differently,
they respond to different things and not
everyone has the same tools as you may
have to help deal with those th.
And so that's just really important to
acknowledge and interacting with anyone,
or to or even just watching someone and
seeing what they're doing, you ?
I think it's just giving a lot .
Empathy and compassion to individuals
as a whole.
Yeah, you said it so perfectly.
The show will stick with people
regardless of how great the
show is and the performance is.
It's something that will stick
with your mind going forward.
Thank you so much, Sasha.
Thank you. From Christine Daia
to Fiona Gallagher.
Now she's playing Candy Sullivan
and Apple TV's limited series,
The Crowded Room.
Emmy Rossum, thanks for joining.
Hi. So The Crowded Room
has so many great moments,
but we can't give them all
away because there's so many
spoilers that are going to be
revealed over the episodes.
What can you tell us about the ?
To start,
The Crowded Room is a thriller
that unfolds as a young man,
played by Tom Holland, is arrested for
a shooting in New York City in .
And the story unfolds through a series
of interviews with Amanda Seyfr,
character who is tasked with
uncovering his mysterious past d
what may have led to this crime.
And my character,
you watch as she's a young 25 year old mom,
a single mom working two jobs,
a caretaker in every aspect of her life
with this incredible kid, this playful,
really infinite love for her ch.
And through a a series of of mistakes
and decisions that bond is shattered.
And you watch as family
secrets that run really deep,
that will be revealed over
the course of the story,
impact their lives and and
ultimately lead to this crime.
And you mentioned Tom Holland,
you play his mom. What was it le
working with him in this series?
Terrific. I I I loved working
with Tom and also working with e
young actor that plays young Da,
Zachary Gollinger. You know,
getting to memorize that that
happiness and that joy that they
share as young mother and son.
So that really informs what
Tom and I are grieving,
that loss of that closeness in t
bond that's really been shatter.
I think that was really helpful,
helpful for me
and you are so great at
wearing your emotions and just
displaying it on the screen.
We saw it as Fiona Gallagher.
We see it here.
What does it take for you
to get to those links and.
Make that scene on screen.
I think anytime something on a e
or a character really scares me
and I don't know if I can do it,
it's when I generally say,
yeah, I'm going to do it.
I think for me,
the opportunity to play a deeply
flawed character whose mistakes
are really Shakespearean level,
I really was profoundly moving for me.
I think also the things that it
brought up for me as a young mo,
the fears of the mistakes that I could make,
the blind spots I could have,
the ways in which my secrets cod
impact my children.
I think those are very profound
things to wrestle with.
And ultimately I think the reves
in the show are are really
thrilling and really satisfying.
They really are. The show gets
better and better every episode.
Thank you so much, Amy.
We'll be sure to watch The Crowd
Room this summer on Apple TV Pl.
